Imagine being rich enough to do anything you want and choosing to take food and medicine from starving children to give yourself even more money.

Yes it's vital to call attention to the gnawing precarity underlying all of American life but that does nothing to explain why the standard economic measures that previously tracked with public political perceptions of whether the economy is "good" or "bad" stopped doing that for one presidency

Tulsi Gabbard confirmed as Director of National Intelligence. My team 1st encountered her while studying conspiracy theories denying chemical weapons attacks and other war crimes in Syria (~2017). She repeatly spread those false claims, echoing Russian disinfo. www.independent.co.uk/news/world/a...

Sending to FB advertisers I’ve spent $$ with: “I love <brand>. But unsolicited posts from congresspeople, local (but not local to me) newscasters and maps of the Gulf are ruining FB — I will delete it. I know I'm not alone in this. Please pressure Meta or risk this valuable channel to market.”

“Mark my words. … They are going to basically tell the U.S. Marshals Service, do not enforce any of these orders, we will not obey them, … and, once that happens—I hope it doesn't … but I know in my heart that it will—our 236-year experiment … in American constitutionalism, is over.”

While Musk runs the country, Trump had a productive weekend naming himself Chair of the Kennedy Center, picking the Chiefs to win the Super Bowl, canceling pennies, demanding Google Maps rename Gulf of Mexico, invited only White immigrants from Africa, and saved plastic straws.

People with unique names like Akash Bobba, Edward Coristine, Luke Farritor, Gautier Cole Killian, Gavin Kliger or Ethan Shaotran should make careful job choices. What they do will always be easily exposed and remembered their entire career.

The White House is saying Canada misunderstood the tariffs as a trade war & it feels eerily similar to when men hit on women relentlessly- then act like they didn't mean it when women do not reciprocate. Huge "It was just a joke, it's not that serious" vibes. Canada did not misunderstand anything.

We have now witnessed a right-wing movement systematically shift the Overton window, bend reality to its distorted vision, and rapidly/drastically reconfigure norms & values — in large part b/c individual people & organizations have enabled them, for power, prejudice, & self preservation. Now what?

President Trump takes office with a considerably stronger economy than he left in 2020. The U.S. continues to grow much faster than other advanced nations and unemployment remains low by historical standards.

Legacy media outlets ignoring the Trump and Melania crypto scams, which at any other time with any other incoming Admin would be one of the biggest scandals in political history, shows how lost and unprepared they are for what is about to happen. They’re covering this like a reality show.
